Yes you too can work as a minimum wage government slave chained to a PC for cracking this...

Any person who cracks this should post it on a blog straight away just to undermine the whole process.

£31 000? Meh, that is low. Finance industry gets you above 75k

I think it's more that finance is high rather than GCHQ is low. £31k is about average for engineering grads.

It's 31k after five years experience.

And being public sector, that's "if you suck everyone's cock on the way up".

You do, however, get a government pension. Which is worth a small fortune.

prospects.ac.uk is full of shit as a rule.
